This split was reflected in Twitter users’ choice of memes, which were either of the “everything’s going to be great” variety, or of the “the world is still a trash fire.” All the meme classics were carted out on either side. Drake was doing the “Hotline Bling” dance to the New Year, while others took to wrestling memes to make their feelings about 2021 known: Classic memes, meanwhile, were repurposed for the new times....

The same-game parlay and player prop betting markets have become wildly popular, and it’s easy to see why. Rarely do we see “bad beats” in the props section. Usually, if you do your research and follow the trends (while also avoiding injury), you can come out with more winners than losers. It’s like getting extra credit in school just for doing your homework. Okay, sorry, that was a bit nerdy....

Amy Poehler’s character Leslie Knope was the mastermind behind Galentine’s Day, which was first celebrated on a 2010 episode of Parks and Recreation. “Every February 13, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast style,” Leslie said on the Season 2 episode. She added: “Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.”...

Thompson: Yes, sir. Man: Fred, I drove over 500 miles to see you. Thompson: Bless your heart. Let’s give this man a hand. (Applause, cheers) Man: I came over Finch Mountain in a snowstorm.

And I know you got a hard road to hoe.” O’Rourke said he agreed with the judge....

The eccentric actress, who is known for making contentious political statements on Twitter, has confused some social media users with her statement, while others have applauded her outspoken tweet. “Hi, ladies; just a brief note to remind you to ‘Save the Sperm,’ next time you have sex, so that if you get pregnant, you have the evidence to SUE and WIN 18 years of child support!” the actress, 76, tweeted....

This is not some piddling campaign. It’s an elaborate Madison Avenue effort (complete with expensive subway, bus and TV ads) to change the zeitgeist and reclaim our lost virtue. A catalyst for what some theologians believe is a new “Great Awakening” of morality. A self-help program that aims to change your life with a couple of mouse clicks. The “Chicken Soup for the Soul” guy (Jack Canfield) is aboard. So is the Mars-and-Venus man (John Gray), which is strange because I could have sworn that “inside skinny” was the language of choice on both planets....

In fact they accumulate, they fester, and create the potential for greater problems to come. If we didn’t know that before, it’s certainly a lesson the last year should teach us about the next one. The peace process between Israelis and Palestinians that was often called “irreversible” has all but collapsed, and the land that both call holy is in flames....
